Forgive Us Our Arrogance

Prayer of Confession

Divine One: We confess we create you in our image. We yearn for a messiah who will force the world into that which we want. Like Peter we rebuke your way and fail to follow you. Forgive us our arrogance. Amen.

Assurance of Grace

We are forgiven our arrogance, our mistakes, and our confusion. That’s the nature of God’s grace. Praise be!
